  Education compared
yerkin
 What do you like about education in America and don't like about your education back home? Or maybe there's something in your home education that American would never match?

  • Cost;
  • Quality of education;
  • Skills of the professors;
  • Corruption;
  • Extra factors;

Provide your input on this topic.



Personally, I don't like the attitude of our professors back home, they think they're the God and we're the scum of the Earth.

 Yerkin, you know what, everything depends on the personality of a professor. Here there are also some profs who are worse than ****. And moreover, very often they hire TA's who are not only incompetent, but who are not teachers at all. On the other hand, for example in my uni in Novosibirsk all the profs and students of the department are one big family, we care about each other's problems, and often profs also learn something from the students.

 Well, Natasha, it all depends of course. But in prestigeous schools (like ours here ))
profs are mostly well-educated people with PhD's from schools not lower than UCLA
or Wharton. Some of them are really dumb, no doubt. But I'm talking about general
attitude. Here they don't say "*** you, go study on your own", they are at least trying
to help you if not really help you. TA's are often times also quite cool, if you know how
to use them properly ))

No doubt, universities in Novosibirsk were always famous for their high level of
education. My uncle graduated from one of them long ago, and still keeps in touch
with friends from there and even some profs (who are still alive ))

But my university... erh... I don't wanna use bad language. You still can get sound
knowledge in your field and have good relationship with professors, but the fact
that others can get the same grade just by buying it greatly reduces the value of
my grades and my diploma. That sucks.

Here it's much more EXCITING to study, that's something I never experienced back
home. There it's like I'm struggling with profs every day, it's exhausting.
